FT 0-0

Krul and Hutton, brilliant start to the GW!

dahat

Utter codswallop.... Fookin hate Villa.

Backstreet Moyes

So many of the lads blindly followed Vlaar after the world cup sigghh a bad start. Need captain Hazard to have a stormer.

iamanengine

14 points after that thanks to Krul and Jamaat (incl. his 2 BPS). Jamaat start instead of Lovren was a great move if I do say so myself :cool:

That very very rare feeling when a game goes exactly as you want it to in FF. Tis why we play the game, pity it only happens once in a blue moon and no doubt it will be supercesed by a useless gameweek thereafter!

Gatame

Krul and Colo, great start for me. Would have loved newcastle to nick one. They really don't look to have any goal threat whatsoever..

manual_man

double Villa CS nice one!

Dummett last sub but Newcastle usually concede away from home so can't complain there

Iused2likebusts

Who says 0 0 games are boring. Beautiful start and hopefully a nice Hutton bandwagon clicking in to overdrive.

Still a fair chance the bps could change, all very close

F1ngers

12 lovely points(+BPs for Coloccini).
Nice start.

18 points in the bag!

Hutton is sure to be a bandwagon this week.

Now time to head to the pub to watch the Chelsea match :pac:

Very frustrating seeing those with Villa defenders being rewarded two weeks in a row. In my private leagues a lot have Vlaar and some actually even have Guzan as their goalkeeper.

Crazy the amount of people who appear to have had more than one of Villa/Newcastle today, but the only saving grace is that doubling up on Villa, Newcastle, or a combination of both of those teams defenders every week will turn out to be a bad move far more often than not and should hopefully balance itself out over the next few weeks.

But hey - I'm not bitter :pac:

8.5K NTI already today. At 89% and pretty much certain to rise tonight I'd say

Mr.Prodston

Good man Collocini

Mr.Prodston

Villa were a decent team to have for the first 3 GWs, no getting around that but from then on it's a little less rosy.

KevIRL

Christ, Villa's run from GW 4 onwards:eek:

Liverpool (A)
Arsenal (H)
Chelsea (A)
Man City (H)
Everton (A)

They have Hull (H) in GW3 though which will probably be enough to see at least a 0.2 rise for Hutton this week

To be honest this game had 0-0 written all over it. I played Hutton ahead of Chambers.

Coloccini and Hutton, a nice start to the week.

A lot of us went with 2 of the main 4m options being Hutton, Dummett and Moore, playing 3 at the back all season it really shouldn't be an issue.

Newcastle defenders are good value this season and they have good fixtures so I think you're wrong in saying that having one is a bad move. There was value in having a villa defender for the first 3 games too but not anymore.

I said "more than one" and never said having a Newcastle defender was a bad move either.

Fair enough, I imagine they just doubled up cos of the their cheap prices.

Mr.Prodston

ESP added in the BPS and looks like the Bonus will be:

Collocini - 31 - 3 Bps
Janmaat - 28 - 2 BPs
Dummett - 27 - 1 BP

At least none of the Villa lads got any, something small to be thankful for

Ziegler1988

Siggy with a clear chance but straight at the keeper

KevIRL

Fabregas getting shoved off the ball easily enough a couple of times now

If I hadn't seen the line-up before the game, I would have thought Hazard wasn't playing. I don't think he's touched the ball as of yet.

Leicester certainly holding their own at the minute.

iamanengine

Yeah I haven't seen Hazard at all so far. Fab having a decent game so far imo but he is losing out on a few challenges.

KevIRL

An auld goal would be nice...

Why would you have sigurdson and put him on the bench at home to Burnley?

Shaque attack

Great start so far, hoping for a hutton bandwagon to form a convoy with the siggy brigade!
